After a brilliant no. 1 and solid 2-3, I have to pick out films I'm not all that fond of to fill out the list... need to see more! I shall definitely try to track down those on your list.
- Winter Sleep (Turkey)
- Two Days, One Night (Belgium)
- Leviathan (Russia)
- Force Majeure (Sweden)
- Clouds of Sils Maria (France) **barely qualifies as a lot of it is in English...

The only one I've seen of yours is Winter Sleep which is probably my favorite of the few Ceylan films I've seen. I do struggle getting into his films, more than most directors who work in a similar "slow" style.

Most of what I've put down in my lists is from East and South-East Asia, simply because that is the region of the world where most of my non-English language viewings come from. However, at the top of the list for 2014 are two European films that deserve a place in any best-of-the-decade list:
Phoenix (Christian Petzgold) - Germany
Far From Men (David Oelhoffen) - France
Coffin in the Mountain aka Deep in the Heart (Xin Yukun) - Mainland China
Paradise in Service (Doze Nui) - Taiwan
Kabuchiko Love Hotel (Ryuichi Hiroki) - Japan*
*it was a toss-up between this and Her Granddaughter, which I rated higher at the time, but hasn't been as memorable to me throughout the years. And there ain't room for two Hiroki in a list of five!
Other honourable mentions go to:
Ruined Heart: Another Love Story Between a Criminal and a Whore (Khavn) - Philippines
Black Coal Thin Ice (Diao Yi'nan) - Mainland China
Ice Poison (Midi Z) - Burma
Red Amnesia (Wang Xiaoshuai) - Mainland China
And if cultural influence is a criterion for judging, it would be difficult to go past the ridiculously often remade original version of Miss Granny (Hwang Dong-hyuk) - South Korea

I have however seen the Chinese version of Miss Granny. Can't say I was that impressed though.

I probably lean further towards mainstream and genre than you - Lav Diaz is someone I think I would have really enjoyed 20 years ago, when I was younger, stronger and had more patience! I've never seen anything from him beyond the first 30 minutes or so of Storm Children: Book One, which was mesmerising in a perculiar way.
As for Miss Granny, I wasn't really give it a vote of confidence in the quality stakes. But damn, in less than five years, it's been remade by Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, India, Philippines, China ... that deserves a special credit.

I probably do lean more toward "arthouse" fare, for want of a better term. I'm not exactly young (40s) but I have re-ignited my passion for cinema in the last decade or so after spending much of the 00s watching not much more than what I saw on the occasional trip to the "mainstream" cinema with my partner at the time. I discovered Lav about five years ago but have only managed to see the bulk of his films in the last year or two. "Mesmerising" is definitely a word I'd use to describe them, I get lost for the day in his "world". Regarding Miss Granny, yes 7 remakes in 5 years, does deserve a mention.
